Menu

I finally got BBReplyproperly installed on my BlackBerry 8700g. The trick is to do a full reboot in order to activate BBReply.

This means:

Turn the BlackBerry off

Take the battery out

Put the battery back in

Now BBReply will be installed and you’ll have a Reply-To option in your menu.

However now that I have it coming up, it still doesn’t seem to be working. I can select a Reply-To address, but neither the From or the Reply-To on the e-mail that is sent uses this address. It still uses the From address set for the account in the BlackBerry web interface.

Here’s exactly what I did:
– Uninstalled BBReply
– Powered Down
– Removed Battery
– Powered back up
– Went into BBReply and set up reply-to addresses
– Powered Down
– Removed Battery
– Powered back up
– Composed email
– Click thumb wheel, choose Set ReplyTo
– Choose address that you set up
– Send email

It shows the “real” from address when I checked it through my yahoo webmail client. But I checked the headers and it is setting the reply-to header to what I chose when composing the message. And when I chose reply in Yahoo Mail it did compose the message to be sent to the reply-to I’d chosen.

Within the BIS setup, you can set a “From” and a “Reply-to” option. I cleared the value for Reply-To. For the from I chose the blackberry address. I haven’t tried doing it with an address other then my direct blackberry address.

Anyhow, just wanted to let you know my findings. Hope it can be of some assistance.

Hmm, and you’re talking about the Reply-To under “Options” as opposed to the From under “Profile” right? (Should see this under the field: “If a reply-to address is not provided, replies will be sent to your Sent From Address.”)

If you can’t I’d try writing into RIM or T-Mobile, since as far as I can tell, you and I are probably using the same web interface just with a different skin based on our providers.

[…] Unfortunately, neither of these actually provide multiple From addresses or “personality” support, they only allow you to set a Reply-To field for the message. I tried to get BBReply working, and failed. […]

Good reading, interesting article. Thank you for your time writing this blog.

By the way, is design for this blog made by you? I swear I saw the same design on G160 website a few months ago, but they seems to have different layout now. Don’t understand me wrong, I’m not blaming, I’m just interested.
